What is TeleCheck® Electronic Check Acceptance (ECA®):

TeleCheck®'s Electronic Check Acceptance is also known as ECA® . This service converts a paper check into an electronic transaction at the time of sale. This service usually deposits funds directly into your bank account within two banking days.

The process to accept checks is as quick, safe, and easy as accepting credit cards. It is actually designed to be similar to the process of accepting credit cards by depositing your money into your bank account automatically. With ECA® you will save both time and money by not having to make daily trips to the bank to make check deposits.

How Electronic Check Acceptance (ECA®) Works

When a customer pays you by check, you authorize it through your credit card machine. You then give your customer a printed receipt for their signature and hand them their check back after it has been voided.

The signature allows TeleCheck to electronically present the transaction to the check writer's bank for settlement and that money is automatically deposited into your bank account within two business days. You don't have to worry about a bounced check or returned check fees because all of that is now TeleCheck's responsibility.
